The Ratline Love, lies and justice on the trail of a Nazi fugitive by Philippe Sands |
Otto von Wachter, a senior Nazi officer died in Rome before he could take the 'Ratline' to South America. But was he a war criminal? Sands' forensic research lays bare his story in all its banality and evilness. It exposes just enough evidence to prove the case contrary to Wachter's son who maintains his father was a good man. It reads like a detective novel and its final ambivalence is probably just about right.
